Dont trust ebay use globaldirectparts
I agree I asked so MANY Ebay sellers and they responded surprisingly that they didn't have that 9. What I did in my question was link a picture like the one I attached so they know exactly what to look for and they responded with a no no and nope.... Dont forget you have to make sure yours is compatible for i527m...
Good Luck!

I replaced my at&t mega LCD screen. I ordered mine from amazon. Apparently the one I ordered was not supposed to be compatible with 4.4.2 but it seems to still work with one flaw that the touch screen sometimes will not register touch at all. 1 out of 6 times I try.
I checked on Globaldirectparts.com, it was 175$CAN to get the piece which is alot. I was about to click the buy button on their site when i saw that this seller http://www.ebay.ca/usr/ewirelessgear?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754 had a 9 resistors piece with actual Synaptics controller. After some messaging through Ebay he told me they also have the 10 resistors one and he was well aware of the importance of those details to make our device works. I've ordered it and installed it. It just saved my device which was bricked for almost a year now and it cost me only 90$CAN. I recommend that seller to anyone stuck with compatibility issues concerning the Mega and digitizers.
Now i have a question for you, i want to sell the previous digitizer that i bought and that wasnt compatible with my i527m on ebay (well it was before the 4.4 update). So the lcd/digitizer works perfectly and mint condition 10 resistors but without Synaptics controller. Would that piece work flawlessly with any model of Mega or should i just toss it away? Cause i want to sell it but i dont want to cause trouble to an unaware customer.

3Hi you could try this site as it claims to have original screens and other parts for the mega 6.3.
OK, I was in a chat with the owner and he said the below....
Im going to buy one when I get my return $ from the Ebay one that didnt work!1
Sounds promising and the resistor part is good info to know also. :good:1Mega Digitizer 4.4.2
This is confirmed working on 4.4.2, I just replaced one and confirm it is working
just go to ebay and search for 2814185713291
The two steps are to:
- Take apart your phone ( Samsung Mega )
- Check the resistor count on the upper right side for 9 or 10 ( what ever your Mega came with ).
9 Count Resistor
10 Count Resistor
1Synaptics
Other than the resistor count, what I have found through digging and examining the original parts is that:
For the i527 w/4.4.2, the device will power on and fully boot with the aftermarket 3rd parts parts, but the digitizer does NOT work.
The OEM digitizer is built with a Synaptics controller on the ribbon cable; 4.4.2 update seems to check the controller rather than just using it.
When it doesn't report back as being Synaptics during boot, the touchscreen driver simply does not load. If you boot the device with the original connected and then switch, the 3rd party part works just fine...unfortunately is is not feasible to reconnect the original assembly every time you have to reboot the device. For sure OEM parts seem to be pretty scarce and VERY expensive (a TON of listings claim "OEM" but are in fact 3rd party aftermarket parts). So...this whole endeavor has cost me almost $100 and a customer. Nice.
